Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 150

"It's okay. And thanks. I was really scared just now," Janet said in between deep breaths.

While she didn't feel offended by Brandon's behavior, she did feel a bit taken aback.

After all, her boss didn't look like the type of guy who would treat a woman this way. When he held her in his arms just now, his movements were very natural, as if he had done this sort of thing countless times.

"Are you scared of me?" the man in the darkness suddenly asked.

Ethan, whose fingertips were still tingling from touching the woman across the elevator, felt that Janet's body was stiff just now. She seemed scared. Whenever they kissed, she would always go limp in his arms. But now, she went and did the opposite.

"Well, a little. But Mr. Larson, I'm not blaming you or anything. It's all just too sudden." Even though they were kind of friends, Janet didn't dare to tell Brandon to stay away from her. He was her boss after all.

If she wanted to continue to work in the Larson Group, she had no choice but to swallow the pride and show Brandon some respect he deserved.

Still, she was confused with the way Brandon treated her.

Was he interested in her?

No. That couldn't be it. Janet frowned slightly in the dark, wondering if she was overthinking.

Well, whatever the reason Brandon behaved like this, she just couldn't understand what kind of person he was.

As she mulled it over, Brandon didn't say anything more.

A hush fell over the elevator. Suddenly, a grating noise sounded from the elevator door and light came flooding in. The rescuers had finally pried the door open!

Several fully armed rescue workers in orange uniforms reached out their hands to them. "Grab on!"

Janet squinted from the sudden light. Before her eyes could adjust, Brandon walked behind her and said, "You go first."

Then he put his hands under Janet's arms and lifted her up from behind without hesitation. He held her up and handed her to the rescuers.
